So Italy has the Uffizi Gallery, and we can appreciate the former glory of the Medici. In the 15th century, the Medici family defeated the once prominent Albigensian family, established tyranny in the Florentine Republic, and became the unofficial head of state. The Medici ruled from the 15th century to the mid-18th century. They were a powerful and prominent family in Europe. Their generosity, especially their enthusiasm for art and architecture, brought Florence into its golden age and made the Medici family the "Godfather of the Renaissance." Sponsored by the Medici family, the construction of the Uffizi Palace began in 1560 and was completed in 1570. It was designed by Giorgio Vasari, a student of Michelangelo and a pioneer in publishing art history works. His biography "The Lives of the Great Artists" was passed down to future generations, and the word "Renaissance" was recorded in history for the first time. The Uffizi Palace was originally the office of the municipal judicial agency (Uffizi means "office" in Italian), and then the Medici began to store the family collection on the top floor of the palace. After a fire and reconstruction, it was officially opened to the public in 1765. The Uffizi Palace is a loggia along the Arno River. Its excellent geographical location connects many well-known buildings in Florence. The windows on the top floor of the gallery are a wonderful frame for the city. ⭕️As the inheritors of the Roman tradition, Italian painters were tired of the dullness of Byzantine art. They reached the peak of art in a blowout manner and finally became the artistic monuments that have been passed down in the Uffizi Gallery for a long time. ⭕️In this new art world born in the dawn, humans no longer believe in the horror of hell and the illusion of heaven, but can enjoy the visible world and the pleasure of the senses. ♥️When night falls on Florence, musical poets sing in the square with various instruments, and the echoes of the Uffizi Loggia resurrect those paintings and statues in our dreams as we slip into sleep. It is the light that has lasted for hundreds of years, protecting our dreams.
